Chapter 445: The Finale (I)
The soldiers of the Meng family army who followed behind Meng Tian did not react as quickly as Meng Tian, they were like targets on horseback, they were killed by arrows one after another, and fell off the horse.
The rain of arrows immediately stopped, and on the straight road, except for Meng Tian and the horse he was riding, all the other soldiers who followed him back to Xianyang City were killed, and their horses also fell to the ground in a pool of blood, and their bodies were full of sword feathers.
Meng Tian knew that they deliberately did not release arrows at him, and after the other party stopped firing arrows, Meng Tian got off the horse, then pulled out the long sword placed on the horse's back, held it in his hand, and looked at the woods on both sides.
"Who is it, so bold, who dares to ambush General Ben outside Xianyang City?" Meng Tian shouted.
Not a single arrow was fired from the woods, but there was no sound at all. Only the wind gently blowing through the branches, the sound of leaves fluttering, and the horses and men on the straights, and the corpses everywhere.
Meng Tian didn't dare to relax, he looked at the woods on both sides, since the other party didn't want to show up, but he didn't want to kill him directly, he definitely wanted to capture him alive.
"How can a man do a man's act if he dares to act and hide his head and show his tail?" Meng Tian shouted towards the woods again.
A moment later, there was movement in the woods, and dozens of masked men slowly walked out of the woods. Each of them wore a bow and arrow, and each of them had a long sword in his hand. The masked man left the woods and walked onto the straight, surrounding Meng Tian in the middle.
After all the masked people had come out, Meng Tian saw that there was one last masked man walking out. Unlike these masked people who came out before, Meng Tian couldn't feel any breath from this person, and even he stood there as if he were a dead person.
Meng Tian held his sword in both hands and asked the masked man who came out last, "Who are you?
A slightly hoarse voice came out of the mysterious masked man's mouth: "Meng Tian, we meet again, I haven't seen you for so many years, it really makes me miss it." ”
"Who are you, do I know you?" Meng Tian asked, in his impression, he didn't know such a person.
......A strange laugh came, not only Meng Tian, but even the masked people around him felt goosebumps all over their bodies.
The masked man stopped laughing, and he walked towards Meng Tian, and the masked people gathered around automatically made way for him. "Of course you don't recognize who I am when I've become like this, but your appearance appears in my dreams every day. Stopping five steps in front of Meng Tian, the masked man said.
"yes, then I think your dream must be a nightmare. Meng Tian sneered, "For people like me, there are only two kinds of people in the world, and that is friend and foe. I don't think you're my friend, right?"
The masked man snorted coldly, "Friends or enemies, the two of us had the opportunity to be friends, but you didn't choose me to be your friend, so we will only be enemies." ”
"Having someone like you as a friend, I think that's really disgusting. Meng Tian became more and more curious about the identity of this masked man, but judging from his tone and appearance, Meng Tian was not impressed at all.
"Actually, I feel disgusted by the way I am now, but it's all thanks to you. At the end, the masked man's voice gradually became sharper, and after he finished speaking, he violently tore off the mask on his face, revealing his true face in front of Meng Tian's eyes.
Meng Tian saw the appearance of this masked man clearly, compared to the interception just now, this person's appearance seemed to be a little more terrifying. His face was pale, without a trace of blood, and what was even more terrifying was that his face was covered with knife marks, and this person had no eyeballs, or maybe the eyeballs and the whites of the eyes were the same color, in short, the face of this masked man was really frightening.
Although the other party was terrifying, Meng Tian could vaguely distinguish who this person was. "No way, you can't be him, he's already dead!" Meng Tian recognized the identity of the masked man and was frightened and took two steps back.
The masked man was quite satisfied with Meng Tian's expression, and he smiled, "Yes, that's right, I'm indeed dead, if it weren't for your iron guard in the palace back then, how could I have become the ghost I am now." Thanks to you, now I am like a walking corpse, unable to appear in the sun, living people are not like people, ghosts are not like ghosts. ”
This masked man was Chu Fei, the world's number one killer who was revealed by Meng Tian in the palace and wanted to assassinate Yingzheng. In the palace back then, Chu Fei was defeated by Meng Tian's secret training guards, he was almost dead at that time, and even afterwards Meng Tian personally checked Chu Fei's body, he was sure that Chu Fei was indeed dead, but he didn't expect him to appear in front of him again today.
Seeing Meng Tian's unbelievable look, Chu Fei said in a cold voice: "When the palace was defeated, I was indeed dead at that time, but fortunately, hell does not accept lonely souls and wild ghosts like me, I was poured a medicine and came back to life, and then I became like this, what, are you still satisfied?"
Meng Tian raised his long sword and pointed at Chu Fei, and asked, "I don't think the person you are talking about will be Zhao Gao, right?"
"Yes, Meng Tian, to be honest, I admire you. It is rare for the entire Qin State to have a family background like yours, and to have a mind as smart as you. Even the dead Emperor Yingzheng is probably not as smart as you. Chu Fei said.
After hearing this, Meng Tian's eyes widened angrily, and he asked sharply, "What did you say, Your Majesty has already died?"
Chu Fei had a suddenly realized expression, but it was really terrifying in the eyes of the people around him. "I remember, you don't know yet, Ying Zheng died a few days ago, and now I think Hu Hai should have sat on the throne. ”
"I see, no wonder I met the eunuch on the road who went to Beijun to announce the decree, all this was planned by you. Meng Tian was really angry, he had already figured out everything, no wonder the eunuch in the county guard mansion that day was in a hurry to urge him to set off, no wonder the eunuch had diarrhea at noon, all in order to intercept himself.
"Okay, don't say any more, do it if you want to, I know what's going to happen today, so you don't talk nonsense. Meng Tian understood everything, the only thing he could do now was to get out of here alive, although it was somewhat unlikely.
Chu Fei stepped back, retreated outside Meng Tian's encirclement, and then said coldly: "Do it, remember to live." ”
The black-clothed man who surrounded Meng Tian swung his sword and killed Meng Tian. Meng Tian did not retreat, but advanced, he picked away the long sword of a masked man with a sword, and then the sword cut a blood line directly on his chest, and then the long sword continued to gain momentum, and after dodging a sword sideways, the long sword cut a sword on the neck of another man in black again. The blood spurting from his throat had not yet hit the ground, and Meng Tian was pulling his long sword out of the body of a masked man.
At a time when the four masked people were killed on the spot, although Meng Tian was old, he was still athletic. These masked men under Chu Fei's command are also trained, the difference is that Meng Tian's swordsmanship is the most suitable for this kind of enemy-outnumbered battle, he is like a swimming fish in the water, the long sword in his hand is not far from the opponent's vital point everywhere, but every time he can dodge the enemy's attack just right, with the least strength, kill the most enemies.
Dozens of masked people besieged but Meng Tian only had one person, and there were only three or four people who could attack Meng Tian's side at the same time.
Half an hour later, none of the masked people surrounding Meng Tian could stand, and everyone was either stabbed by Meng Tian and fell to the ground and died, or Meng Tian broke his muscles and had no strength to fight, lying on the ground and moaning incessantly.
"Very good, very good, your swordsmanship is still so elegant after all these years, not bad. Meng Tian's skills made Chu Fei can't help but applaud him, and at the same time, he was also excited that he was finally able to unload all his burdens and fight with Meng Tian this time.
Meng Tian retracted his sword quickly and steadily, so many masked people were just an appetizer, the real highlight was only Chu Fei in front of him, after all, he was once the number one killer in the world, even if he was not in his heart, Meng Tian did not dare to have the slightest neglect and contempt for him.
"I hope you don't let me down. Meng Tian said lightly.
"Hehe, it will. Before Chu Fei finished speaking, the long sword that was originally in the scabbard in his hand was already out of its sheath. Meng Tian only saw a flash of cold light, so he relied on his instinctive body to dodge back, he felt a tingling pain in his chest, it turned out that Chu Fei's sword was slashed across his chest, if he hadn't dodged quickly, only this sword could have hurt his life.
Chu Fei didn't continue to attack, he said to Meng Tian: "How is it, have you ever been satisfied with my sword?"
Meng Tian just snorted coldly and didn't speak, this time he took the lead and attacked Chu Fei.
The sound of long swords colliding on the straight road was endless, but if you looked closely, you could only see two figures dodging back and forth on the straight, and you couldn't see anyone at all.
Meng Tian is old, Chu Fei is naturally old, the two of them were equal when they were young, and this is still the case at this time. At the beginning, Chu Fei's sword was not that Meng Tian couldn't dodge, that sword was originally Chu Fei's killer sword as the number one killer in the world, and many people died under this sword, including many famous swordsmen in the Seven Kingdoms back then. Meng Tian just relied on his body's instinct to dodge this killer sword, which was also not easy.
On the west gate of Xianyang City, Zhao Gao stood there under the protection of a group of forbidden troops, and not far in front of him was the battlefield of Chu Fei and Meng Tian.
"I didn't expect Meng Tian to really have some ability at this age, it seems that my plan is not wrong at all, as long as Meng Tian is solved, the throne of Prince Hu Hai will be stable. Go, tell Chu Fei that he must let him capture Meng Tian alive, I don't want Meng Tian to die so early. ”
